The model SAMSUNG SV0411N is a hard drive from Samsung that was popular in the field of computer hardware, especially in the early 2000s. Here is a detailed description as well as technical details, functions and areas of application:
1. General description
Model name: SAMSUNG SV0411N
Product name: Samsung SpinPoint P80 Series
The SAMSUNG SV0411N belongs to Samsung's SpinPoint P80 series and is a 3.5-inch hard drive that was used in desktop computers, workstations and some server applications. This hard drive was a reliable and cost-effective storage solution for its time.
2. Technical details
- Capacity:
- 40 GB: The 40 GB capacity was a common size for desktop hard drives at the time of launch.
- Form factor:
- 3.5 inch: This is the standard form factor for desktop hard drives. The hard drive fits into the typical 3.5 inch bays of desktop PCs.
- Interface:
- ATA/133 (PATA): Parallel ATA (PATA) is an interface used to connect hard drives and other storage devices. ATA/133 indicates the maximum data transfer rate of 133 MB/s.
- Speed:
- 7,200 RPM: A rotation speed of 7,200 RPM is typical for desktop hard drives and offers a good balance between performance and power consumption.
- Cache:
- 2 MB: A 2 MB cache helps cache frequently used data and improve performance by providing faster access to that data.
- Average access time:
- 8.5 ms (milliseconds): This time indicates how quickly the hard drive can access a request for data. An average access time of 8.5 ms was acceptable at the time of market launch.
- Data transfer rate:
- Maximum 133 MB/s: This is the theoretical maximum transfer rate enabled by the ATA/133 interface.
- Fault tolerance:
- SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology): The hard drive supports SMART, a technology that monitors hard drive health and performance and can warn of potential failures.
- Power consumption:
- Operating power consumption: Approximately 8-10 W
- Idle power consumption: Approximately 6-7 W
- These values ​​indicate the power consumption of the hard drive under different operating conditions.
3. Functions
- PATA interface: The use of the PATA interface allows easy integration into older computer hardware and systems.
- Cache Memory: The 2MB cache improves data access times and increases performance by caching frequently used data.
- SMART Monitoring: Self-monitoring and analysis feature provides early warnings of possible hard drive damage to prevent data loss.
4. Scope of application
- Desktop Computers: The SAMSUNG SV0411N is ideal for use in desktop computers of the early 2000s, where it was used as the primary storage for operating systems, applications and data.
- Workstations: This hard drive can be used in workstations that do not have extremely high performance requirements.
- Small Servers: For smaller server applications where large amounts of data are not required, this hard drive could provide a reliable storage solution.
5. Advantages
- Reliability: Samsung is known for making reliable hard drives, and the SV0411N is no exception.
- Good value for money: For its time, the hard drive offered a good balance between cost and performance.
- Easy connection: The PATA interface allows easy integration into older systems.
6. Disadvantages
- Limited Capacity: At only 40GB, the capacity is very limited compared to modern hard drives and SSDs.
- Slower performance: Compared to modern hard drives and especially solid state drives (SSDs), performance is limited.
- Outdated interface: The PATA interface is now obsolete and has been replaced by SATA, which limits compatibility with newer systems.
Summary
The SAMSUNG SV0411N is a 40 GB hard drive from the SpinPoint P80 series, designed for desktop computers and small servers in the early 2000s. With a PATA interface, a rotation speed of 7,200 rpm and a 2 MB cache, it offered acceptable performance and reliability for its time. However, it is now outdated, both in terms of capacity and interface technology, and has been replaced by larger and faster storage media.
